No coding tonight :(

My office has no A/C this evening. 87 degrees and rising... stupid Georgia.

Back from vacation!

Went to Asheville, NC with the wife for a much needed vacation.  Back now and will update the apps again very soon!

Took a few days off

Played a bunch of Terraria.  Super fun game.

Anyway, I should get back on both projects today.  I have some things I need to add to both.  Priority:

• Floss Checklist - shopping list, maybe more floss companies and lists?
• Stitcher's Helper - stitch count calculator, shopping list screen improvements
• Need to add an about page to both apps

As always, if there are any issues let me know!

Floss Checklist released!

It lacks a bit of polish, but the core functionality is there.

Floss Checklist

Current features:

• Full DMC floss list
• Floss list separated by group name (117, 317W, etc)
• Ability to see color code, color name for each
• Can toggle a button that denotes one needs to buy a certain floss
• Can increment or decrement the number of floss owned.

 Upcoming features:

• More floss lists
• A shopping list screen that compiles all the threads one has marked "Need to buy"
• Projects page

Possible new app tonight!

One of my Stitcher's Helper patrons suggested a great idea for a new app, so I'm hoping to get a version on the market tonight.  Will announce what it is when I post it!

Version 1.2 uploaded!

Features added in this update:

• One can now add generic shopping list items without having to tie them to a project.  Do this via the shopping list screen, menu.  Fields include: description, quantity, unit, price, store, notes.
• Long pressing a generic shopping list item deletes it.
• Added store and notes fields to project items.
• Project deletion added (with confirmation message).
• Added Equilateral Triangle calculator
• Added Mitered Border calculator
• Added Squared Border calculator

Coming soon:

• More calculators!
• More tutorials!
• Feature requests?  Guess I'd have to get some before I can add them :)

2 Tutorials Added!

On the right portion of this blog I put a box where I'm adding the tutorials I've made for Stitcher's Helper.  Hope they help. :)

Version 1.1 uploaded!

I should probably not have made it version 1.* since it's still in beta, but...

Anyway, 2 people have bought it! 1 is my mom, though. :)

New in version 1.1:

• If the project screen can't find an image associated with a project, a placeholder will show up in the gallery.
• Added a cancel button to the calculator add to project dialog.
• Shopping list implemented!
  
  • For a project item to show up in the shopping list, the following must be true:
  • The project is exists on must be set to "In Progress"
  • The project item must be set to "Include on Shopping List"
  • Long touching an item on the shopping list will remove it from the list by setting it's include checkbox to false.

Also, if you have calculator suggestions send them to me! I'd be happy to add them. :)
